On the Playlist: Myk Perez

I missed attending events that launch new artists and playing their songs. Happily attended Myk Perez's blog conference at the MCA Universal office and greeting him personally for his new album "My Acoustic."

After coming runner-up in ABS-CBN's The Voice, MCA signed him for his debut album and featured songs that we love and also his personal favorites.

• Easy
• Two Is Better Than One - duet with Sabrina
• Why
• Runaway
• Clarity
• Honey Under the Moon
• Fix You (his self-composition)
• Chasing Pavements
• Give Me Love
• Baby I Love Your Way
• Fix You (Unplugged) - bonus track

His cool voice goes perfectly with all tracks and it's a good company when you're driving or chilling on your room. He gives justice to all the songs in his own renditions and they are very relaxing. My personal favorite is his version of Runaway - being also a The Corrs fan and I could sing-along with his tune.

He is very nice and accommodating to even granted our song requests by playing them with his guitar. A tell-all interview was honestly answered by Myk with all the bloggers present. He played songs that will match his mood.

He gave all his thanks to his The Voice coach Bamboo Mañalac for what he had become in The Voice. If you're wondering if he had a choice to select from all the other judges, he'd choose Lea for musical experience. He also like to jam with Sarah Geronimo for her dancing skills.

For more info about Myk Perez's album, you can visit MCA universal's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

WINTER'S TALE movie review

I have this confusion with time-travelling movies but WINTER'S TALE is a not miss with loving individuals of all ages. As to learn not just to love but to be a miracle to others.

Being in the mythical New York in a different angels and demons battle, a person is caught in two time zones, one his present and his future and being able to fulfill his destiny. I just had to carefully draw myself in the settings and how clues were revealed one by one in the life of Peter Lake (Colin Farrell). I also had this icky feeling that sometime within that Pearly Holmes (Russell Crowe) will sing as Javert in Les Mis.

The story is something new to me and I really liked it too. It brings back youth to Colin Farrell and he has regained the matinee idol image in this movie. There is also balance in the roles of the supporting cast, and a pleasant script.

A love fantasy is very timely in this season and for those in love out there, Winter's Tale is written and directed by Akiva Goldsman and now showing in theaters. Distributed by Warner Bros Philippines.

This concert is second which she produced, and as a way of thanking the support of her fans before she flies to London for a very special role in Sir Cameron Mackintosh's Miss Saigon. Making to the West End is very close to her heart as this is also her dream. She'll play Gigi, a role which she really prepared about after her successful audition in Manila in 2013.

For about 12 months in tour, she's looking forward to learning stuff being independent abroad, taking advises from big and experienced theater artists from London, as well as learning new culture.

Rachelle Ann or Shin-Shin, presents songs from her beginnings and those who made her even more popular and loved by the Filipino audience. Notable by playing in Atlantis Production's The Little Mermaid in 2012 and as Jane in Disney's Tarzan with Dan Domenech, also of the same theater company. She is currently seen in GMA's Sunday All Stars weekly. She will also be singing and dancing on stage to show her versatility as a performer in the Send-off concert.
